People who ate the products complained of cramping and nausea,
CBS reported.

All of the problem product originated from an Idaho
facility, which Chobani said in a statement
it was putting through an "extensive review" process. The problem yogurt is now
also under a voluntary recall.

Chobani also cited a statement from Cornell University food
science professor Randy Worobo explaining the health issues with the mold found
in the yogurt:

"Mucor circinelloides is a species of
mold commonly associated with fruits, vegetables and dairy that has
been reported to cause spoilage like swelling and bloating in yogurt," Worobo
said. "It is not considered a disease-causing foodborne microorganism."

"This mold should not pose a health risk to most consumers.
Very rarely, it can act as an opportunistic pathogen, but not through food and
usually only for people with compromised immune systems through
inhalation. The organism is regularly used for the production of natural
flavor compounds that are widely used in the food industry."
